Edgar Wright sounding optimistic over ANT-MAN
As opposed to THOR, Wright sounds optimistic over the size changing superhero now he is working on his second draft for Marvel.
As opposed to the comments from Matthew Vaughn regarding Thor to the Empire Magazine this weekend, Edgar Wright and his Ant-Man adaptation thankfully seems to be moving along nicely.
I can't say I know anything at all about the character but I like Edgar Wright's work and although it might be strange seeing him direct a big tentpole for Marvel, I'm intrigued as hell to see it...Its written and were doing a second draft of it, said Wright. Its going to be less overtly comedic than anything else Ive ever done. Its more of a full-on action adventure sci-fi film but with a comedic element in the same spirit of a lot of escapist fare like that. Its certainly not a superhero spoof or pastiche and it certainly isnt a sort of Honey I Shrunk The Kids endeavour at all.Awesome. I'm really happy that Marvel are pushing ahead with this kind of hero as opposed to the tired old conventional one's like X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Wright confirms that both Hank Pym and Scott Lang will both appear as Ant-Man during the course of the film...
Thats one of the things that were going to do with Working Title who weve just signed a two-picture deal with, he said. It will have comedy and a cross-genre in a similar way.But after a zom-rom-com and an action/cop comedy... who knows what genre's Wright has up his sleeves to cross next.
